Vision

Infrastructure modernization efforts enable us to adopt new energy efficient technologies and practices to promote sustainability. Cloud computing initiatives, including Hyper-Converged Private Cloud, Public Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and Multi-Cloud Platforms will allow us to achieve our goals for increased collaboration, sharing, productivity, mobility, and security while exceeding requirements for continuity of operations and availability of services. Ongoing investments in cloud-based programs and services enhance the IT infrastructure lifecycle and allow for rapid scalability.

The modernization of our systems, networks, and platforms is imperative to protect business-critical applications and data. Hardware and software refresh efforts will create more secure, flexible server and endpoint environments. Virtual capabilities also support data backup and replication to off-site locations for quicker recovery supporting the continuity of operations.

Developing a modernized and secure IT infrastructure that harnesses new information delivery models will enhance ETSS’s voice, network, and data capabilities and services. Through optimization of our data centers, adopting energy efficient technologies, leveraging consolidated enterprise licensing, maximizing the use of shared services and acquisition vehicles for IT purchases, and executing strategic sourcing initiatives, we will lower IT operational costs and energy consumption.
